anyone else feel kind of embarrassed that this won best picture?
there have been plenty of crappy best picture winners before but at least in those years there were a ton of other movies you could point to that should have won
but this piece of shit is literally the best our society is capable of making now
we're in a fucking death spiral where the most profound thing we can say is "omg whores are sad and maybe russian oligarchs aren't the best people although they're fun am i right??? don't worry though, no matter how shit you are there will be a simp to take care of you because you're worth it gurl"
it's fucking embarrassing

>>212592856 (OP)
isnt the protag some kike?

a gay nigga rape movie won best picture in 2017 lamo

I fucked your mom the other night OP

Nickel Boys was better

I haven’t seen a best picture film I liked from the last 30 years. Is this more embarassing than Crash? Probably not.

>still seething about it four months later
>it's fucking embarrassing
yes

>>212592856 (OP)
only because it's not that type of movie. it's still a great movie. and now it's cringe to mention you know Sean Baker when before it was cool.

>>212593177
>Is this more embarassing than Crash? Probably not.
But to OP's point, that year also had Capote, Cinderella Man, A History of Violence, Keane, Lady Vengeance, L'enfant, Match Point, Memoirs of a Geisha, Munich, Mysterious Skin, The New World, Sin City, Tideland, Walk the Line, The Weather Man
All of which could have won Best Picture in 2024

The Oscars haven't been relevant in decades.

>>212592856 (OP)
It's 40 minutes of borderline romance mediocrity combined with boring sex scenes followed by a hundred and ten minutes of retards cursing/screeching like nutcases at each other to the point where it devolves into an unironic schlocky sitcom. I stopped at the 84 minute mark when they were walking back and forth on the docks because it put me to sleep at them point. It was so far up its own ass, it was pompous as hell.
It was either this or Emilia Perez. The voters picked the lesser evil. Best Picture has been nothing more than a politically-motivated agenda for the sake of garnering brownie points + money laundering. Hasn't been relevant in 15+ years.

>>212592856 (OP)
It's just porno garbage for coomers and women that no one will remember in a year
Oscars have always been a sham so don't worry about it

>>212594197
>it's still a great movie
So great, barely anyone talks about it anymore nor even remembers it by much. It only garnered attention thanks to being released via VOD, generated artificially boosted discussion for a few months to lead up to the Oscars (again, it was already picked as the winner months in advance regardless), then, shortly after it won....crickets.
It was a proxy film meant to satiate the investors. That's it.

it's supposed to normalize being a whore for women

these awards and movies are not organic art. they are for social conditioning

No more embarrassing than everything at once all all
It was the most reddit movie i've ever seen

>>212595222
the blu-ray extra features has an hour long conversation between mikey and a sex worker about how important sex work is lmfao not a joke

Didn't even finished the movie, watched like 40 minutes and was, party/sometalk/sex repeat.

>>212592856 (OP)
>45 minutes of partying and fucking followed by 90 minutes of people yelling at each other

Yeah, I really don't get it. The best picture winners since 2020 have been really weird, with the exception of Oppenheimer.

You guys are actual retards and I don't understand what you are doing in a board dedicated to movies without having the capacity to actually appreciate them. Anora, like Baker's other films, is meant to be an unbiased, impartial observation of a specific type of character/setting. He doesn't glorify or condemn with his movies, which is mostly why he gained recognition. People who are actually tired of forcing politics or agendas in movies appreciate Baker's ability to show you something while leaving it up to you to decide what you think about it. Why the fuck are you niggers mentioning and analyzing the speeches and not the movie? You're worse than celebrity obsessed women.

>For Anora, Sean Baker has stated that his intentions were to "help remove the stigma that's been applied to sex work, that's always been applied to this livelihood." Andrea Werhun, a Canadian writer and actress best known for her 2018 memoir Modern Whore about her prior time as a sex worker, served as a creative consultant on the film.

It's just not a very interesting story. Same goes for Nomadland and CODA. Comepletely forgettable Hallmark tier movies.

But Odesa is Ukrainian.

>>212592856 (OP)
I think compared to the 70s movies critical of Vietnam's meat grinder, the disillusioned hippies, vets, & their relatives have suburbs/small towns to come back to + lick their wounds. There was a sense of community. For this, she's crying into an immigrant who doesn't have his house/car either. No community, no root, nothing to tie her to a place of refuge/retreat after how an event or "the machine" had defeated her.

Nope? The Oscars have been irrelevant for years. Nobody watches it anymore unless a nog spazzes out on stage. Why do you still give a fuck about irrelevant award shows where increasingly talentless rich people publicly masturbate to movies that very few people paid to see?

how is this better than sc-fi epic dine part 2 which was also nominated for best picture?

>>212598770

>>212597688
because it has characters and acting and a storyline in it.

>>212598811
How original.

its a great arc. people think its glamourizing whoredom when it rather shows you how nasty it all is. even after all what happened, she is still just a dirty whore and breaks down realizing how broken she is. onlyfans culture is poison and the director as avid coomer has a right to critique it. i wish his last two movies wouldve won though. anora is weaker than florida, but probably more appealing to the mainstream.

we had Blonde a few years ago which was basically a horrorhollywoodwhore picture, but obviously it didnt catch on.

>>212592856 (OP)
2024 also had Grand Tour, All We Imagine as Light, and Caught by the Tides. It was a weak year but not devoid of good cinema unless American cinema is all you care about.

It’s better than a lot of the other recent best picture winners.
It was all pretty bleak and predictable, but they managed to make it fun in spite of all that.
I’d give it a 7/10 at least.

>>212600405
I was okay, just a cynical gritty version of Pretty Woman where she doesn't get the guy and just goes back to being a gutter whore.

>>212600591

at least it gave us mikey's titties and ass while she's still young and hot, which is a lot more than most recent best picture winners have given us

How the fuck is Anora where you draw the line? This decade alone we've had Everything Everywhere, CODA and Nomadland. All of those films are worse than Anora and nowhere near Best Picture quality. If anything Anora was one of the better nominees.

>>212592856 (OP)
No, it's probably the only best picture winner for the last decade that deserved it.

It was NATO propaganda to support the billions we are borrowing to buy Zelensky another few mansions in Miami & Brussels & Monaco & Luxembourg.

And there's nothing wrong with that. Shut up and pay.

It was an apology Oscar because The Academy didn’t give anything to The Florida Project the year it was out. That’s all there is to it really. They felt retarded for totally snubbing one of the best American movies in years.
This type of thing always happens. Does anyone actually think Pacino was more deserving for an Oscar in Scent of a Woman than the Godfather? Of course not.

No I thought it was very good.

Well deserved and one of the best theater nuts I've had in quite a while

>>212595222
>it's supposed to normalize being a whore for women
Either you didn't actually watch it or you didn't get the ending. It's not a film like Poor Things that equates being a whore to being a liberated woman. The ending shows that being a whore has made Anora incapable of understanding basic human intimacy, and in fact is confused and angered by it.

>>212596117
That's funny since all of his movies are actually about how sexworkers are horrible people.

>>212596810

I stopped caring about Oscars after "Oscar so white". It became clear it will never be about merit ever again, but only about representation. I couldn't even name the movies that were nominated.

Fortunatelly there are about 10,000 classic movies to watch.
